When you do your general qt pest control service, do you include nuisance ants like sugar ants, crazy ants, ghost ants. Or rare these ants not included and require a separate charge and separate fee? Trying to get different opinions. Thanks Scott McGrath Scott McGrath McGrath Pest Control www.mcgrathpestcontrol.com

For one, including a WDI on quarterly pest control carries too much liability. Second, Termidor around the foundation of a structure does nothing for the fire ant mounds around the yard.

I was just wondering, so my post. I don't do regular Termidor applications, so I was just wondering. I also know that applications are not the only consideration.
